這篇論文主要研究了制度環境對於中國企業家活動的影響。在第一個章節裡面, 我們證明了制度環境與企業家在生產性和非生產性企業家活動之間的選擇存在著因果關係。我們把福布斯公佈中國內地富豪排行榜這一事件做為一個影響中國內地股票市場裡的事件。通過對決定相關個股波動程度的因素的研究,我們發現在制度環境和生產性企業家活動之間存在顯著的正向因果關係。 === 在第二和第三章節裡,我們採用中國健康與營養調查(CHNS)的數據在微觀層面研究了制度環境與企業家活動的關係。我們發現對自顧傭而言,顯著的教育回報存在於技術含量要求相對較高的地區。在家庭經營的架構之下,在農村地區自顧傭活動的純利潤和家庭的平均教育水平被證明存在顯著的正相關性。而城市自顧傭活動的盈利能力則完全不受教育的影響。論文的結論豐富了教育對生產的回報率這一領域的研究成果。 === 在最後一章裡,我們發現制度環境不僅直接影響到個人的創業決定,也間接的影響到決定其就業傾向的因素。在中國城鄉二元性的環境下,一些個人特徵以及社區商業環境的變量對創業決定顯示了不同的影響。 === This thesis mainly investigates the influence of institutional environments on entrepreneurial activities in China. In the first chapter, we verify the causality relationship between the institutional environment and the entrepreneur’s choice between productive entrepreneurial activities and those unproductive. The release of the Forbes’ List of millionaires in mainland China is treated as an event affecting the stock market. By examining the origin of its influence on relevant stocks, our results show that a significantly positive relationship exists between the institutional environment and productive entrepreneurial activities. === In Chapters 2 and 3, we apply the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data to exploit the relationship between the institutional environment and entrepreneurial activities in the micro-level. We demonstrate that the return to education in the self-employment sector is significant in the area where the demand for skill is relatively high. The net profit of self-employment activities has significantly positive relationship with the average education level of the whole family in the rural, while education has no influence on the profitability of the urban self-employment sector. The findings contribute to existing literatures that estimate the return to education in production. === In the last chapter, we illustrate that the institutional environment not only directly influences the entrepreneurial decision of an individual, but also affects his career choice. Under the rural-urban duality in China, distinct influence on entrepreneurial decision has been identified for some personal characteristics and measurements of business environment in the community. Besides, determinants that have consistent effects in different institutional environments shed light on the development of entrepreneurial activities in China. === Detailed summary in vernacular field only. === Detailed summary in vernacular field only. === Detailed summary in vernacular field only. === Luo, Bei. === Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 164-170). === Electronic reproduction.
